Thank you for sharing your opinion, we really appreciate that.
Would you please be so kind and read this:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams
Before joining any sub-team, one should really read that page. Problem is,
most of the time/cases, people don't actually read carefully, they just
send a request to join and if they read, they may forget that. That is
simply why we keep our Wiki area up-to-date.
Thanks to our Wiki and Docs Team, they are doing a huge great job to keep
that area our finest and most up-to-date area. Big thanks to them.
Thanks :)
